Default RE: My parents parent?

Oh believe me I am not complaining. I am very happy to help my dad out in any of his needs. I almost lost my dad during an afternoon hunt to a heart attack a few years ago. I am always very pleased when he decides he wants to hunt, even if it is a week before season. It was just one of those things where my son (6) and my dad were in the same room one day and I notice that I was having to explain things to the both of them. My dad is still very old school so he has alot of questions about some of the newer things in the sport, much as I did when I was young. It took along time just to talk him into a compound bow. He would still be struggling with his old bear recurve. Just this summer my brother and myself got him a release. He has arthritis pretty bad and we thought it would be easier for him. Getting him to use it is a little different. Don't get me wrong, my dad isn't feeble minded or anything, he still works as an electrician with no plans to retire. I guess it was just a little sad in away because it does make me realize that the guy who could do anything can't anymore. Make one look at their own mortality.
